a8 • Should there be some method of addressing retrofitting fixtures that do not comply, other than the amortization process? It is our reading that existing structures would be "grandfathered" in until and unless they must be replaced. We wonder if a companion educational document (design guidelines) might be helpful for users, showing acceptable (good and bad) examples of lighting fixtures? This type of guidance document could help supplement the regulatory approach and might be especially useful for residents and businesses that are exempted from the regulatory provisions of the ordinance. • At § 6.31.3(A), should the phrase "shall apply" read "shall comply with this ordinance ? At 6.31.4 d ,does tem ora emer enc li htin cover hi hwa . § () P rY 9 Y 9 g 9 Y construction and repair? This use might or might not be deemed emergency. • 'At § 6.31.6 (J), the phrase "governmental flags" is ambiguous, since it could refer either to a government owner of the site, or to the flag itself. Perhaps the language should read "for flags on government property"? The Commission is unclear just what the intended scope of this standard is. • At § 6.31.8, the preamble refers to regulation of areas outside the vehicular canopy under "section 6.31.5. Does this mean § 6.31.6? There are no standards in 6.31.5, merely information submittal requirements. • At § 6.31.8(e), there should be some standards for this variance approval by the Planning Director. Perhaps general language such as "Other methods approved by the Planning Director that meet the intent of this ordinance as explained in § 6.31.1(8)" would suffice. • At § 6.31.9(8), "their" is missing a "t" • At § 6.31.9(C), "one" is missing an "e". Again, the Commission commends staff for taking the time to create this proposal, and is supportive in concept of the provisions. We would be willing to to offer more technical suggestions in way of a brief report, based on a review of other ordinances, which could be ready later in the spring, if this met the needs of the Board in its process for review of the proposed ordinance. Thank you for your consideration of these questions/issues. Copies: Commission for the Environment David Stancil, Environment and Resource Conservation Director ORANGE C01~TY {;.
